Distance Learning Degree

Distance learning or distance education is a way of learning and getting a degree from a "distance" from the campus, which may be around the corner or around the world. You do your work at home or on the road, and often you never see the inside of a classroom. It comes in several different formats, such as correspondence courses, telecourses, interactive television courses, audio and video tapes, and web based instruction. What they have in common is that you are studying via distance learning or distance education, regardless of how the information is delivered to you.. You can often work at your own pace and set your own schedule. You can sometimes get credit for "outside the classroom learning" such as work experience, military experience, continuing education classes, workshops as well as credit for classes taken in other schools, no matter how long ago they were taken. Again these classes could have been without ever entering the classroom - all achieved via distance education or distance learning.
